I'm speculating about how many GPUs it would take to completely satisfy demand right now and what impact that would have on certain things. If every gamer and miner who wanted GPUs at msrp could buy as many as they wanted right now, how many GPUs do you think that would be? What would happen to energy consumption?
I imagine there are plenty of miners who would buy hundreds or thousands if they could. I think it would take 50 million GPUs and it would completely destroy the energy grid in certain countries. The e-waste in the coming months and years would be a towering mountain of old GPUs.
